With many exchange-traded funds , all an investor needs to believe is that the stock market will continue to rise. With more than a century of stock market history supporting that idea, that's not a big ask. But when you move into the realm of actively managed ETFs, you have to believe in the vision that the fund manager has for the future.

This final article on ARK Innovation for the Voyager Portfolio focuses on the investment case that Wood sets out for her flagship ETF. If you agree with it, then this ETF might make sense for you. If not, it's still valuable to understand the views of an influential fund manager and how they relate to what's happening in the stock market right now. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Even with the average benefit at an all-time high, most seniors still need to supplement their checks with other income sources if they want to live comfortably. But married couples often get two benefits from the program, and that can leave some couples wondering whether they can get by on Social Security alone. The an...

Fannie Mae Set To Accept Crypto As Collateral For Home Loans For First Time Fannie Mae, the giant government-backed mortgage securitizer, is preparing to accept cryptocurrency as collateral for home loans for the first time, marking a further step in the integration of digital assets into traditional U.S. housing finance, according to the Wall Street Journal . Mortgage lender Better Home & Finance Holding Co. and crypto exchange Coinbase are teaming up to allow home buyers to pledge Bitcoin or the USDC stablecoin to secure a down payment on a Fannie Mae-conforming mortgage. While crypto-backed mortgages have existed in limited forms, Fannie Mae’s involvement—through loans it will purchase and guarantee—could bring such arrangements into the mainstream of the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market . The Journal has more details: The new mortgage product works like this: A home buyer gets a traditional 15- or 30-year Fannie-backed mortgage from Better. Instead of making a cash down payment, the buyer gets a separate loan, backed by either bitcoin or USDC, a popular stablecoin. Paying interest on a second loan instead of making a cash down payment can increase the overall cost of homeownership significantly. The interest rate on both loans would range from comparable to typical Fannie Mae mortgages to 1.5 percentage points higher. “A lot of those crypto owners and investors have not been able to become homeowners,” because they don’t want to sell their crypto investments, said Max Branzburg, Coinbase’s head of consumer and business products. “We haven’t really had the best way to service that need.” The development comes as the Trump administration moves to enact regulation aimed at establishing the United States as the number one destination for building crypto companies. Speaking in January at the World Economic Forum, President Trump said he helped secure America’s place as the “crypto capital of the world” by backing legislation aimed at boosting the digital asset indus...

Scot aims to make history at July’s London Diamond League ‘This record is one of the most important we have’ It is, says Josh Kerr, a moment that makes the hairs on the back of his neck tingle every time he watches it. We are talking about Roger Bannister, his body taut then spent, falling into a crowd of well-wishers on a cinder track in Oxford in 1954 having become the first person in history to break the four-minute mile barrier. “That’s what I live for,” Kerr says, with the broadest of smiles. And then comes the grand reveal. Because at the London Diamond League in July, Kerr intends to stand on the shoulders of track and field’s giants – such as Bannister, the Australian Herb Elliott, Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett – by breaking the mile world record.
